Egyptian-Americans Hold Victory Rallies In NYC pvictorwins | February 12, 2011 at 4:29 pm | Tags: Astoria, Day of Solidarity, Egyptian mission, Hosni Mubarak, Little Egypt, United Nations | Categories: News, NJ News, NY News | URL: http://wp.me/pZawQ-DGD |
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Egyptian-Americans and human rights activists rallied in New York City Saturday to celebrate the ouster of Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and to call for human rights reforms in the country.
There were two separate rallies in the city -- one at the Egyptian mission near the United Nations and another at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza. They came one day after Mubarak was ousted from power.
On Saturday the ruling military pledged to eventually hand power to an elected civilian government.
But Amnesty International, which hosted the "Day of Solidarity" at the Egyptian mission, and its senior director for international law and policy Widney Brown said authorities in Egypt must press forward with human rights reforms.
Fewer than 200 people attended the two rallies.

Demonstrations broke out across the Tri-State area on Friday, including "Little Egypt" in Astoria, Queens when Mubarak agreed to step down Friday after 18 days of protests.
On Steinway Street, people stormed out of shops into the streets and began singing as drivers honked their horns and waved Egyptian flags as word spread that Mubarak was out.
"Freedom, freedom, freedom," shouted one man from his car.
"Now we're free. Free at last, free at last," another man told CBS 2's Pablo Guzman.
There was also happiness and jubilation amongst Egyptian Americans Friday at the Altawheed Islamic Center in Jersey City.
"It's an extraordinary feeling. It's been thirty years in the regime. It was about time for [Mubarak] to get out. People weren't worried who's going to come next, what's going to come next — they just wanted him out," one man at the center told 1010 WINS' Steve Sandberg.

Here is certainly the earliest recorded incident of the gassing to death of Jews. In the year 38, the Roman viceroy of Alexandria was A. A. Flaccus. The city had a considerable population of Jews, many of whom resented Roman rule. To quell periodic uprisings, Flaccus rescinded their rights and initiated a pogrom. He then confined them to one quarter of the city, effectively creating the first Jewish ghetto in history. Once concentrated, they were sitting ducks for the local mob. Flaccus (according to the Jewish historian Philo) "allowed anyone who was inclined to proceed to exterminate the Jews as prisoners of war."
In a lengthy passage of his work Flaccus, Philo describes, in the best Holocaust style, the atrocities inflicted on the Jews. In the middle of his account we find this:
"Some persons even, going still great and greater lengths in the iniquity and license of their barbarity, disdained all blunter weapons, and took up the most efficacious arms of all, fire and iron, and slew many with the sword, and destroyed not a few with flames. And the most merciless of all their persecutors in some instances burnt whole families, husbands with their wives, and infant children with their parents, in the middle of the city, sparing neither age nor youth, nor the innocent helplessness of infants. And when they had a scarcity of fuel, they collected faggots of green wood, and slew them by the smoke rather than by fire…" (IX, 68)
One wonders how exactly this happened—in "smoke chambers"? Open air? Enclosed chariots? In any case, the Nazis evidently had a good role model in the Romans.
Turkey's investigation of the Mavi Marmara massacre contains troubling findings that two victims were killed before any IDF soldiers boarded the ship in fire from helicopters, that the youngest victim, a Turkish-American, was killed execution style after being wounded in the leg, and that a photographer was killed with a laser-guided weapon while taking photographs:
